Drawing diagrams & field sketches & analysing photographs

Drawing diagramsOften you will be asked to show the characteristics or features of a landform. This will involve drawing a diagram. You will need to draw a simple diagram with at least three labels with arrows. You will need to make sure your arrows touch the feature you are labelling.Drawing field sketchesSame as above but the sketch you draw look at must look similar to the photograph and only draw what you can see. Make sure it is labelled.

Analysing photographsWhen looking at photographs you will be asked to label the features. Make sure you read the question carefully as there will often be clues as to what you may have to label. You should label at least 3 features and only label what you can see from the photograph. Make sure your arrows touch the features you are labelling.
